The Angelcheeks Foundation is a Donor Advised Fund
established through the Battle Creek Community Foundation to assist
families who suffer the tragic loss of a young child.
The video above features founders Brian Nessel
and Andrea Evans-Nessel and their YouTube friends.
The
Foundation was created by Brian Nessel and Andrea Evans-Nessel after
they lost their youngest son, Evan, in 2007 to Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome. Because
the Brian and Andrea had life insurance for Evan, they were able
to memorialize him in a way that was fitting to his beautiful spirit.
Other families are not so lucky. The Foundation provides grants to
parents and guardians who do not have life insurance and who are
struggling to cover the costs of memorializing their child.
The Angelcheeks Foundation
also exists to educate parents about the importance and affordability
of obtaining life insurance policies for all of their children. No
parent wants to believe that they will ever lose their child; but
the unthinkable can happen. We want to help parents preserve
the memory of their children with dignity and with grace.
